Thigh Pain, Throbbing Pain, Pressure Sensation. What Is Wrong?
Hi, i was playing football around a month ago now and i over stretched when kicking the ball and felt something go in my thigh, i rested it for a couple of weeks and its fine when i run, cycle or walk, but when ever i kick a football again there is deep throbbing pain, and when i put pressure on my thigh there is a certain area that seems to hurt a lot.

Hello, kicking needs extension of knee joint and it seems you have injured your extensor mechanism i.e. quadriceps. You need to see a orthopaedics for clinical check up to find out the exact location of tenderness, power in muscle groups and if needed a MRI to diagnose the amount of tear if any.

Hello and Welcome to HCM,
Thanks for writing to us.
It seems some injury to the quadriceps muscles which involved in kicking mechanism(extension of knee).I would suggest getting this evaluated by an orthopedician for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management. You may get the MRI of the area affected under his/her guidance.
Hope this helps you.
Wishing you good health...

Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
Localisation, pain on movement, tenderness - all point to muscle injury at the site.
See an orthopaedician - for proper assessment / they may infiltrate the area...
Rest, warm compress and Non Steroidal Anti Inflammatory Drugs can help in the mean time
Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
